DWC Nutes. What are you using these days?

i just wondered what nutes you all are using these days in DWC? I have used GH in the past but was getting a defficiency at 2 weeks into bud, i thought it was Mg; there was interveinal chlorosis, and then burnt, bleached looking leaves, but then i thought ir might be heat, temps occasionally over 40 degrees C, The nutes were kept to a minimum, averaging about 0.85 ec, EC never above 1.2 ph 5.5 - 6.5, I have looked at some pics and now i think it might be potassium, anyway i just fancy changing my nutes to see if it makes a difference, hence the initial question.:cry:

General Hydroponics works great in Deep Water Culture.
Shooting powder also worked good for yield but I did not like the taste that much after using it.
Blossem Blaster is a great little product to add when initiating the flowering phase.
And finally good ol' Big Bud... For bigger buds of course.


Cheers.

There are a lot of good brands on the market that people swear by. Some swear at them. For the last couple of years I've used Technaflora's, "Recipe for Success," the whole formula. I've never used it piece meal. Some people don't like it because there are a lot of component parts but I've never had the trouble with nutrient deficiencies and burn like a lot of the folks here have. You might want to try a sample kit and see how you like it.

I use Jacks Pro hydroponic nute 5-12-26 with some calcium nitrate for flowering. and when in veg i normally run GH nutes using Lucas Formula and i have no problems at all.

I have tried both General Hydroponics and Advanced Nutrients 3 part system, the Advanced seems to be better quality. Also have added Overdrive bloom enhancer.






I love this magazine ad though:

I have used GH 3 part and the nutrient calculator on their website. This is my first grow but things are looking great. Havent had any problems.

I'm using Earth Juice in my DWC.. I have to say I'm not happy with the clumps that get stuck in my root systems and along my rezs.

i Strongly recommend dyna-gro. IT has the best ph consistency out of any nutrients ive seen used. it is cheap and the whole line consists of 4 parts

Bloom, Grow 10-15$ Mag-pro (for Reverse osmosis water). and Pro-tekt which is a silica supplement that gives you stronger stems higher resistance to heat and im fairly certain it acts as a Ph buffer (allowing for even more stable ph) in all when i bought the whole line online it cost me 45$ including shipping.

it wont clog your setup in any way and yields the best green looking plants from every grower ive seen use it.

Check out homebrewers threads if you dont believe me he used to be a GH fanboy

Dont you have a Tds meter? if not you can afford 15$ off ebay get the cheapo blue one im using it too seedlings= 150ppm clones= 300 all veg = 600 flower shouldnt really go above 1200 and should go up incrementally

I use to use GH in my DWC bubbler, and it worked well. But i now use Supernatural's gro and bloom aqua. Its kills it. Runs so clean too. No clumps, no crap to clean out.
